‘True vocalist’ Rihanna shines brightest when her true talents are on display – silence and stripping. Case in point? The new first campaign captures for ‘Rebelle’, her latest fragrance and follow-up to her first fragrance Reb ‘l Fleur. Big shoes to fill given the latter led Macy’s fragrance sales at the time of its release and pulled in a whopping $80 million dollars in a year.
But, while the fragrance does not officially hit shelves until December, the ‘Umbrella’ singer is undoubtedly hoping for similar successes with her forthcoming ‘Talk That Talk’ (November 21st). To aid her aural assault, the Navy commander has partnered with electronics giant Best Buy.
MTV News reports:
Best Buy has announced that on Monday, the same day that Rihanna drops her new album Talk That Talk, the retail chain will give away the album for free to anyone who buys and activates any contract mobile phone at a Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile location, as well as online.

New phone and free decorative coaster for my cup?
Your thoughts?
DAMN THIS IS THE ONY SITE THAT HAS ALL THE UP TO THE MINUTE RIHANNA INFO BEFORE HER OFFICIAL FAN SITE RIHANNA DAILY…SMH
Thatgrapejuice.net is really working hard to promote rihanna talk that talk lbum!! keep it up, im def buying!!:)
Wow LMAO if they really count that towards her first week sales, then that is just plain f****** SAD and those sales should not be included with the first week since you didn’t really pay for it.
They will look for any way to sustain decent first week sales.
she looks about 5 yrs older in that pic. 😕
Put down the cigarettes rih…
bad for your VOICE 😉
bahabhabhabaa! i love TGJ shade!
Child it’s cheaper to just buy the CD. Buying a phone will cost much more than a CD. Best Buy is ripping her fans off lol.
It won’t count towards sales (It never counted for Gaga either). Billboard issued a statement that said as of November 21st, Albums that are sold for less than $3.49 will not count towards charting on the Billboard. She got paid well for this but Best Buy will benefit the most , Not Rihanna.
Anyway next week will be interesting!

@S***
You Like Rihanna now… That’s good…
So do I… 😆
Well, Billboard needs to issue ANOTHER statement that says: “as of November 21st ITUNES will no longer count for #1 Singles”. 🙂
Lets see HOW MANY #1s these Generic B****** get then 😉
BEST SONGS ON TTT:
1) YOU DA ONE
2) TALK THAT TALK
3) Red Lipstick
These are OK but Rest is MEH 😕
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! Love that Rihanna 7-head shade. Let it pour of her retarded fans. Hahaha!!!!
Rihanna always copying Gaga. Sad little person. Can’t wait for her lackluster albums sales next week. Hahaha.
@S*** lol
My favs are:
1. Do ya thang
2. Talk that talk
3. Birthday cake (even though it’s short)
4. Cockiness
5. Farewll (she was singing her little heart out, reminds me of California King bed which was my FAV from “loud”
6. You Da one
And all you retarded Rihanna fans, yes all FOUR of you, need to stop acting and lying to yourselves about Rihanna’s album selling 200K plus.
She’s not gonna sell above 200K. Prolly Top 5 but girl will never ever disgrace the #1 spot of BillBoard’s 200.
Sorry. :/
She’s a singles queen. Haha.
^^^ Please
RIHANNA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CACA!!
Rihrih is the QUEEN over these BASIC B******(yes, CACA included)
& YOU need to STOP lying about CACAs Sells! That hit didnt even come close to 10 Million, more like 5 Million = #MAJOR FLOP!!!!
in 3 Years CACA is WASHED UP along with her stans.
Nov 21st releases:
Live At Roseland
TTT
Mary J Blige’s My Life II
Daughtry
NickelBack
Michael Jackson
Lady Gaga’s Collection Bundle and DVD
Britney Spears’ DVD
Drake’s 2nd week sales…
Adele
____________
OOP! MAJOR Competition Next wk!!!!
So much for that #1!! 😕 I know Bey & Mary are gonna Sells probably do 200+K.
Predictions for rih: 120K-150K 😐
Shell be LUCKY to make it to TOP 5.
Well you already know Bey’s DVD will be the # 1 DVD next week that’s for sure. She’s already #1 on pre-sales. CANT WAIT~ I think MJB will be #1 followed by MJ I think Ri will come in top 5
Has Born this Way hit the 5 million mark ????
I can’t wait for RIhanna to s*** on Beyonce’s career with TTT so her and her ghetto hoodrat fans will finally learn their place! Rih is about to surpass her album sales and overall record sales. Bey’s local ass is DONE.
Haven’t listened to the album yet. I’ve listened to 3 songs now and the preview of the album. Sounds immature yet again. I think Rihanna will get #2, #3 or #4 on billboard charts this week. She has M J Blige, MJ and Nickelback to compete with.
thats what i am talking about,i love to see female artist in the game making power moves beyond music,no matter the side keep doing you Riri.
@ Gia wow, surpass Beyonce sales in 4 albums with her 6 albums? Does that sound impressive to you? 6 albums to meet up with sales of 4 albums?
MAJOR FAIL A LONG TIME AGO!!!
Gaga + her fans ≠ “WASHED UP”
Anyway,I think Gaga did this before (enter head scratch icon here) and BB didn’t count it.
http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a344147/lady-gagas-born-this-way-tops-5-million-global-sales.html
i can’t wait to see who will get that #1 spot. nicleback sales is always great and mary j, but we have drake second wk sales and MJ. very interesting
DVD AND ALBUM SALES ARE DIFFERENT PPL
are yall forgetting Adele is releasing a dvd that day too?
And dont u think this exclusive- walmart release will affect the figures for live at roseland?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDdtbWJFJm4
@ S*** (ITS R&Bey)
Well sorry to break it to you boo boo, but it’s true. Gaga’s BTW sold well over 9 million a month and a half ago. And it has already sold 10 million.
So be mad cause Rih-tarded can’t sell albums or concert tickets.
And funny last time I recall basic h*** lip-sync, can’t dance, don’t write their hits, and flop on the album sales and concert tickets.
Oh funny I just described Rihanna. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! B**** had to give out tickets and beg people to come to her concerts. HAHAHA!!!
Who has sold over 8 million albums in 4 months and has the biggest grossing debut tour? Yeah mhmm got that right LADY GAGA.
So please go f****** save all the money you can to buy Rihanna’s floptastic Talk That Talk album cause the b**** wont be able to WALK THAT WALK.
Hahaha!!!! Basic h** fans are the funniest.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
GAGA HAS NOT SOLD 9 MILLION
A BIG FAT LIE
COUNT UP THE NUMBERS ON UNITED WORLD CHART
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
NOT EVEN CLOSE. SHE STANDS AROUND 5.3 MILLION AND RIHANNA IS OUTSELLING HER ON THE CHARTS
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Free albums not gonna help Rihanna ESPECIALLY as she is seeking a #1 album.
Who really thought of this strategy?
The album has leaked already and also having freebies that dont contribute to her charting.
STRANGE BUT TRUE!
Guess the fans win but does Rihanna?
We’ll see!

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to prosper, to fly, to fly, to rise
Me aganist enemies and so called friends
They start coming and i start rising, must be suprising
I’ma just surmising, i came to win, to fly, to fly
I hear the critism loud and clear, i paint my own pictures
every body want to try and box me in, suffocating everytime they
lock me in. I came to win, to fly, to fly! to conqure, to prosper, to win.
I hear the critism loud and clear, that is how i know the time is near
See we come alive in time of fear, and aint got no mofo time to spare.
cry my eyes out for days upon days, such a heavy burden, place upon me,
But when you go hard your Nay’s become Yea’s, i came to win, to fight, to
conquer to thrive, to win, to fly.
Guess the navy should NEVER EVER COME FOR GAGA’S NECK!!!!
And funny thing is, RIHANNA RELEASES AN ALBUM EVERY HOLIDAY SEASON AND STILL CAN’T CASH IN ON THE SALES RUSH! LOL
Anyway i think its better to sale steadily over a period than sell major in one week and drop to almost nothing thereafter.
LMFAO…Embarassing 😆 Well, if that’s the only way for her label to promote the music, then whatever.I bet the mobile phones market is much bigger than the albums market, so good for them 😎 And getting it for free would be the only way I’d ever get this album, so it’s a fairly good move, except if it affects the sales of her future singles (which is unlikely)
Anyway, I don’t really care about this album anymore.I may be checking for the videos, but overall I’ll just wait for the 7th album this time next year HOPING that it will be ‘Rated R’ 2.0..That album was a gem!
80Million in One Year, from Perfume Sales
Ammmmmmmmmmazing!
That group of people who dislike Rihanna
is all fine and good, and we know they hate/dislike
her because shes making it a Point to keep Mopping
the floor with them and their Faves asses.
@Gia
Are you even serious with your dumbass responses. Why bring Beyonce up your immature. Beyonce sold 75 million solo over 120 million with DC. Rihanna only sold 20 million albums for 5 records that’s bad and not in a good way. Sit down somewhere. TTT is not that great or a career changer for her. Its only one song on that entire album that is good and it’s the interlude Birthday Cake.
On next Beyonce local? are you crazy? Beyonce changed her ‘4″ didn’t do good first week which 313,000 is great for a leaked album. Because everyone was used to uptempo singles ladies, diva songs and here Beyonce come with this mid tempo album? But she didn’t care.
After this album and tour or whatever Rihanna needs a break, or is she too scared?
@Lax
80 million in one year from perfume? yeah okay whatever.
The only way that the Navy pays attention to
Other ARTISTS Is when these Artists Fans happens
to bring them up, and that is clearly Always, ha, ha, ha.

Clearly out of your ass,,,, You Check your numbers

TTT is trash, she needs to take a year long break like her friend Katy is doing. But then again Rihanna is too scared to, she knows once she comes back her fans will be gone. she has NO talent!!! Out of breath jumping up and down on stage lol. Can’t wait until ciara knocks r****** out…….
